Here’s Why You Have To Make This Peaches And Cream Smoothie:
- Dairy-Free: Unlike the traditional peaches and cream dessert, which typically uses dairy-based cream, this smoothie version utilizes coconut milk and almond milk. This makes it suitable for those who are vegan or follow a dairy-free diet.
- Healthier Choice: The smoothie incorporates natural fruits like peaches and mangoes, which not only enhance the flavor but also provide natural sweetness and fiber. This means less added sugar is needed, and you benefit from the whole fruit rather than just the flavor.
- Nutrient-Dense: The smoothie is a nutrient-dense option, offering protein, vitamins, minerals, and fibers that are not typically found in the traditional dessert.
- Versatility and Convenience: The smoothie can be enjoyed at any time of the day, whether as a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or a refreshing drink on a warm day. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for on-the-go consumption.
- Customizable: Just like its traditional counterpart, the smoothie version can be easily adjusted to taste preferences or nutritional needs, such as adjusting the sweetness or adding other fruits for variety.
- Satisfies Sweet Cravings: The natural sweetness from the fruits, combined with the rich creaminess from coconut milk, offers a satisfying treat that curbs sweet cravings without the heaviness of dairy cream.

Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes
The smoothie can be customized easily to suit your preferences or available ingredients.
For example, if you like to recreate the classic peaches and cream dessert as closely as possible, you can use dairy cream if you are not vegan.
Check out my suggestions:
- Use Heavy Cream: Swap the coconut milk for heavy cream instead (note, that this will increase the calories and fat per serving).
- Swap The Mango: Use bananas or other fruit of choice instead of mango.
- Superfoods: Swap the oats for a tablespoon of chia or flaxseeds. Or keep the oats.
- Lower Calorie Version: Coconut milk contains quite a lot of calories, to cut the calories down, use yogurt instead of coconut milk.
- Use Frozen Peaches: Make the smoothie thicker and cooler by using 1/2 cup of frozen peaches instead of a fresh peach.
- Canned Peach: While I personally love using fresh fruit where possible, canned peach can work for this recipe too. But it will make the smoothie sweeter.
P.S. for a lighter smoothie that tastes just as creamy, try my pineapple and peach smoothie!

I recommend that you use a high-speed blender to make this smoothie.
As you can see based on the images, the smoothie is quite thick. On top of that, the smoothie contains frozen fruit, which is hard to break down.
